Things That Matter in Tropenmuseum
Things That Matter is a new permanent exhibition at the Tropenmuseum about ‘important things and the importance of things’: objects of great personal significance that are closely related to the major social issues of today, such as migration and origin. The objects in this exhibition come from all over the world and incorporate stories that are equally meaningful in the Dutch context. In videos and audio fragments people talk about items of personal significance to them. Read more
